I have a 2001 Ford E450 Cutaway with an Ameritrans coach. While doing some maintenence, I noticed my brake light indicator above the back door was not working. As I was taking off the housing, a couple of the screw locations broke off as they were brittle. Luckily, there were some other locations that had no screws, so I was able to get it screwed down.
I looked around on the internet to find a replacement housing but can't seem to find any place that has the correct housing or my Google-fu is failing...
Anyone have a place/website that they know will have this housing?

There should be a part number of some sort molded into the actual fixture (the part that screws / bolts to the bus body). That being said, most any similar housing will do the job if the original cannot be found. Just make sure you seal up any unused holes and don't drill into anything vital (wires, etc) with any non-factory replacement. Odds are, you may need to consult the coachwork manufacturer with the VIN / body # to get it if it's not on the part itself.

One other thing, some aftermarkets have backup cameras built-in... Nice upgrade if you can find one. You might try MidWest Bus Parts, but I'm not sure they carry much for the cutaways.

Thanks Cheese_Wagon.

Unfortunately Ameritrans is no longer in business.

But, after further investigation, hidden under the cover and some wires was the part manufacturer.

I'm listing here for information purposes. The company is Bargman Co.

The whole assembly is called
Light Bar - Rear Identification, Red Lamps w/Spot Lamps w/CHMSL (Center High-Mount Stop Lamp)
Part Number 30-99-113 (white base) or 30-99-213 (black)

The lens bar itself is:
Light Bar w/Spot Lamp Lens Red
Part Number 30-99-050
